About us
|Background
ACAL Energy Ltd was founded by Dr Andrew Creeth and Amanda Lyne in August 2004 to research and optimise Dr Creeth’s invention for addressing the inherent technical limitations of the cathode side of membrane based fuel cells.
With funding from the RisingStars Growth fund, a Feasibility Grant for R&D from the DTI and incubator support from the Carbon Trust the company has demonstrated that the technology has the potential to address hugely significant issues that are preventing the commercialisation of this new energy technology.
The company is based in the North West of England, and has R&D collaborations in place with a number of the UK’s leading centres for research on fuel cells and its related technologies including The University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, The University of Manchester, and C Tech Innovation Ltd. It is in the process of extending it’s relationships into partnerships with global players that are developing fuel cells for electronic and automotive applications.
